Ultimately to try and suggest that Magic Grandpa is not, at least to a degree, culpable in the present shambles is cultist of the highest nature

Agree. A caller to LBC this morning had an interesting variant on this: he argued that Labour under Milliband, while supposedly pro-EU, failed to sell the benefits of Europe as strongly as Blair and Brown had done. Meaning that once the Referendum campaign began, the Leave campaign started off in a much stronger position (even more so after the Aaron Banks and other dodgy money swelled their coffers, and the Russian bots turbocharged their Facebook campaign).

I find it odd that the likes of David Lammie and Caroline Lucas haven't brought up the questionable legality of the referendum vote when they've been calling for a People's Vote. By the time the Met put handcuffs on Banks, it will probably be too late.

So what about the £9,000,000 leaflet to all households from the government. That wasn't covered in any remain referendum spending?

2 of those Tories had the whip reinstated especially so they could vote, whilst currently suspended over sexual misbehaviour allegations.

That never gets old.  Pretty sure Boris has modelled his speeches on this.

117 is a sizeable lack of confidence for her. She'll continue because she's a stubborn fish. Except this only leads me to think that the 117 gives support for Labour to call a Vote of No Confidence in the government.

The question is;

Why the fuck would anyone want to be the leader of the country, in this absolute shitter of a situation?

I wanted May gone and that's not what happenend, so we need another vote, so we/I get the correct result this time.
I'm calling it the MP's vote, MP's never knew what they were voting for the first time. The people of westminster are to thick to understand the ballot paper. JRM overspent and now Westminster is facing a cliff edge, some MP's are very upset because they were promised unicorns. One day later everything is different because it hasn't rained yet, they couldn't have known this last night when voting. Unemployment will reach 50 million and we'll have no drinking water, food stocks will run out and circus clowns will stop visiting from europe due to visa restrictions.

That was already the second vote. They voted for her once after Cameron left. It seems the Tory party are allowed to change their minds if something is shit.

JRM has already called on her to resign. Even with >60% of the vote. Its the will of the party she stays.

blah blah blah

Marvelous result. It puts the ERG back in their box for 12 months. She could of course be ousted by parliament anyway. Probably will.

But that's only going to remove risk of a harder Brexit, because our sovereign democracy parliament can see that a fools gold hard Brexit is the worst outcome for the United Kindom.
